See all ->Artist Residency
More than 100 artists-in-residence pass through Wassaic each year. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, writers, and everyone in between.
We're also proud to host one of the largest year-round family residencies in the world and an invite-only print editions program.
Education
Our education program reaches thousands of students each year through summer camps, workshops, workbooks, online lessons, curricula, drop-in artmaking hours, and after-school programs with and in all four local school districts.
We seek to empower the artist in every student, giving them lifelong tools to explore and express themselves.

Thank you
to everyone who has helped us grow from a scrappy art festival into a mainstay of the upstate New York cultural landscape. Your support has brought world-class contemporary art exhibitions, vitally important education programs, and an internationally respected artist residency to the kind of community that seldom sees this level of cultural investment. We can’t wait to see you back in the hamlet soon.
